Red Flag Rule

The FTC has issued the Red Flags Rule that will require a written Patient Identity Theft Prevention Program to be implemented by many healthcare organizations by June 1, 2010. The requirements to develop a Patient Identity Theft Prevention Program can be costly and substantial.

What if there was a way to reduce direct costs (time, manpower) and indirect costs (inefficiencies resulting from duplicate records, inaccurate information, resubmission, resolution) of the patient registration process AND be compliant with the Red Flags Rule and the Project Swipe It WEDI guidelines for machine readable cards?
